Averie TimmSeptember 3, 2014This place has the best seasonal sandwiches. ALSO they have wine on tap for $6 from 4-8 and who can say no to that? Tonight: Pan Seared Squash Blossom sandwich w/ heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozz & aioli
Joe DJune 14, 2015The burrata is redic fresh & salted to perfection. And the bacon egg & cheese sandwich is obviously prepared with delicious care. See for yourself. Giggidy.
Come for the sandwiches, stay for the beer, and return for the atmosphere. Any weekly specials will be good, if not you can always stick with the classic Winter Pig or Bahn Mi sandwich!
Matt RestivoJanuary 29, 2014love that the main item on the menu changes frequently, but you can't go wrong with a delicious burratta. the owner was great-- came around to check in on our table and food. lamb was boss- The slow food is part of the experience. Grab a beer, enjoy the tunes, the awesome staff, and the atmosphere. Fun in the summer when you can look out onto a bustling Orchard St.
- Toni HaberMarch 26, 2014You'll want to make make Black Tree your new go-to spot & try its weekly changing menu, always based on farm-to-table in-season ingredients. Check out the Winter Pig sandwich before the season's over.
Regan BozmanFebruary 1, 2015One of the best restaurants in New York. The sandwiches are the highlight - incredible bread, fresh ingredients and innovative takes on classics. The cocktails too - especially the old fashioned
Jess BrownJanuary 4, 2015Amazing vegetarian sandwiches, changing constantly. Great for lunch or dinner. YUM. Best pickleback I have ever had. Must try the burrata, artichoke dip is delish too. Good beer selection.- The summer duck might be the most delicious sandwich I have ever eaten. Thankfully I took it to go, so there was nobody to see me lick my plate clean.
Alison PangJune 28, 2013Great sandwiches for the price. You can't go wrong with the blue fish and soft shell crab sandwiches. The waiters and owner are super nice guys and make the experience even more enjoyable.
Harper WentzOctober 26, 2015I had the shredded beef hash and artichoke dip. Both were flavorful and slightly spicy. All the ingredients are sourced within 300 miles! It's such a cozy and fun atmosphere! I highly recommend!
Bradley KayJuly 10, 2016Service tends to be "relaxed", but friendly. Their unusual sandwiches, noodles, and other dishes are excellent; always well-spiced with interesting flavor combos.
AlexJune 8, 2015locally sourced ingredients and an ever-changing menu. great food and chill vibes. homemade bread is awesome.
Damian BayonaSeptember 8, 2015The best pickle backs you will ever have with a rocking punk rock vibe. Also, they have a watermelon sandwich which is exactly that and pretty good.
Get the fig cocktail while its still on the menu. Vodka, apples, sparkling wine, fall spices- what's not to like?
John GallagherMay 31, 2014Deluxe up a broccoli rabe sandwich with an egg and some bacon. You may need to use a fork but worth it
Marina BuritySeptember 12, 2015Great sandwiches and I love the different mixtures of ingredients. Staff very considerate and lovely ambience.
Sandos - duck was the meat of the hour and the all duck bahn mi was awesome. Local beer and ingredients (300 miles local) is local in a new way.
Try the summer mushroom sandwich and make sure to get the fried egg. The strawberry balsamic jam and smoked goat cheese pair perfectly - so good!
Mike McBryanMay 18, 2015Grab a seat at the bar and enjoy the specials of the day / week. Great beer selection, including some from Three's Brewery.
Obsessively locally-sourced food, with a rotating menu focused on one animal per week. House-made pickle backs are delicious.
Umair ZiaJuly 13, 2013Holy crap. Definitely have the grilled cheese sandwich. It would be perfect of they served tomato basil soup with it. Lamb tongue taco is great too.
AykutJuly 10, 2015Food was really good.. We just walk in late night since it was close to our hotel. We enjoyed our food, portions are not big but tasteful!
amazing restaurant with an ever changing menu. the porterhouse during beef week was boss
Village VoiceMarch 5, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Black Tree to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest!
Always delicious, even when the main meat isn't even ready. We always get the Burrata and Artichoke Dip no matter what!
Kathy MatthiesenDecember 2, 2015A carnivorous hipster's dream! The menu features a different animal each week, so there's always something new to try
BenJanuary 21, 2015Some of the most unusual/delectable sandwiches in the city. Grab a cocktail and enjoy. Get one of the vege sides.
Hannah CastilloJune 10, 2015You think you've ordered enough Burrata, but you haven't, trust me. It's so delicious you're going to need that extra order.
Insanely juicy, fresh offerings, with an ever-changing menu based on local ingredients and the current in-house animal.
James MarshallOctober 16, 2015The sandwiches are awesome. House made bitters. Great beers. Health violation recently has me only drinking here now though.
Jen ShinNovember 17, 2015all sandwiches were amazing. don't forget the burrata; perfectly creamy and accompanied by warm, buttery bread.
Chris D'AmicoJanuary 14, 2014This place is amazing. Chill spot and the best sandwiches downtown, not a joke -- winter squash + bacon. Go for it.
Emilie FuttermanDecember 29, 2014Local ingredients, great people, dope food. The burrata is life changing and the sandwiches are serious. Good for a group of friends.
Andrew GauntnerApril 4, 2016The food is delicious! The staff is very engaging. And you can tell its fresh. The Diaplo Burutta is awesome!- Village VoiceSeptember 27, 2013Black Tree has a seasonal menu that is constantly changing, so be sure to try the watermelon sandwich before it's gone!
Ada ChanAugust 6, 2014Winter pig, summer pig, whatever they call it - get it. Drinks are a bit pricey for the amount. $12 should mean a bit more than half the glass. Go for happy hour.
Everything is grown within 300 miles, so the cocktail menu has none of the conventional citrus and thus comes up with some interesting replacements.
Jacob ForsterJuly 13, 2015No words can describe how delicious the summer pig is. The sandwiches are somewhat expensive but completely worth it.
Saba DilawariNovember 9, 2013So good!! Everything fresh and local. Even their liquor and drink selection was from within 300 miles. Definitely coming back!!
Everything. The menu changes weekly, so be adventurous. All products are sourced from farms within 300 miles.
Elizabeth HartmannMay 20, 2016Short rib sandwich was a bit dry but well seasoned, asparagus sandwich was the clear winner
Nicole FormicaDecember 21, 2015Ever changing menu with a featured animal of the week. Step one: start with burrata and bread. Do not skip this step!!
Food here is amazing...locally sourced, seasonally changing and they have Peekskill Simple Sour. How can you go wrong?!?
Gunnar AasenMarch 1, 2015The sandwiches are boss. They're overpriced, but worth it. Go for lunch on weekdays to avoid a long wait.
Kushal DaveJanuary 29, 2015Thing I never thought I'd say: The squash sandwich is delicious. (Also great beers on tap!)
Marco CasarinMarch 5, 2015Great food and beer...be prepared to wait for your food...slow but worth it as its all fresh.
Andrew ChaoNovember 25, 2015They have a pickle back menu! If you like spicy, cauliflower is the way to go!
